Landeskog returned to the Colorado Avalanche for practice Tuesday, ending a successful conditioning assignment with the Colorado Eagles where he played back-to-back games and collected two points as well. Now, the countdown to the captain playing for the Avalanche again could be days — not weeks or months.

In addition to their records, the Stars and Avalanche both rank top-five in the league in goals per game. Dallas is top-three in goals allowed per game, while Colorado is 11th. The Avalanche have a top-10 power play, while the Stars have the No. 2 penalty kill.
